The following content consists of both original rules and settings, not being based on anything published elsewhere. It is all released under Free licenses of one form or another.
The following games are homebrewed RPG systems that have been written over the last fifteen years. They are all Free content.
Yags This is a game system I have been working on for about ten years, and using it on and off. Currently, it is optimised for the Habisfern fantasy campaign.
Myths An old system of mine, started around 1991 or so, and used until 1995.
Habisfern A campaign world which was designed along with Yags, so fits that game system pretty well. A fantasy setting, without a multitude of character races.
Mortals A science fiction setting in the far future, where humanity has taken control of its destiny and has colonised the stars.
The One Time A universe spanning network of wormholes linked together by relativity and time dilation into a single time spanning billions of years. For humanity though, there is no future.
The following content is for campaigns based around published settings, or additions to existing game systems.
Harn My conversion of Harnworld to use Yags, together with some campaign notes.
